Answers
The world of network marketing is advancing really fast. If your aim is to stay ahead, MLM software is your savior. It can help your business grow smarter as well as manage and track commissions, genealogy, inventory, and distributor performance. This means that the effort from your side is reduced drastically, letting you focus on other important aspects of your business.
Here are some of the major advantages of using MLM software over manual tracking systems.
>> Automated commission management
You can easily track and analyze your existing compensation plans. You can also manage and modify it according to your business performance. It automates the calculations and ensures 100% accuracy of the payouts.
>> Store management
You can easily develop an appealing online commerce store with this software. This helps you expand your reach, giving customers a smooth shopping experience.
>> Lead generation tools
The platform helps to attract and convert quality leads into long-term customers with perfect lead tracking tools.
>> Sales prospecting tools
It makes the hardest tasks of prospecting simple. You can reach out to the right people with the right social media strategies in an effortless manner.
>> Distributor Training Tools
Make distributors good competitors and customer-ready with data-driven training programs. Provide them with sales-ready tools to stay ahead of the competition.
Other benefits include:
High speed, accurate, and transparent commission processing
Improved productivity
Real-time analysis of business turnover, profit, and expenses
Effortless handling of complex calculations
Improved customer satisfaction
Increased profitability of the business
Easy to manage members and downline
Easy to promote and sell products
As much as we are looking at systemizing the whole process of MLM business through MLM software, we should also ensure that the software is user-friendly and promises customer satisfaction through a transparent operation.
Using MLM software instead of tracking everything manually is a total game-changer, especially once your network starts to grow.
With manual tracking (like spreadsheets or notebooks), things get messy fast — you’ll deal with mistakes in payouts, missed commissions, and a lot of time spent double-checking everything. It might work at the beginning, but it’s just not built to scale.
MLM software solves that by doing all the hard work automatically:
1. It tracks every sale, downline, and commission in real-time.
2. Everyone in your team can log in and see their progress, which builds trust and motivation.
3. Payouts, rank qualifications, and bonuses are calculated for you — no more math errors or delays.
4. You can also manage multiple levels, product inventories, and even send training or updates in one place.
The biggest advantage? It saves you hours of manual work and protects your reputation. In MLM, trust is everything — and good software helps you run things like a real business, not a side hustle.

How do we improve the credibility of our company?
You need leverage. The objection "you might not be around in awhile" is semi-valid but not a deal-killer. Something else was missed. "So are you saying you would NEVER, under any circumstances, work with a company less than a year old?" I'd go back to prospects who have turned you down and ask for open, honest feedback. Tell them it doesn't matter now, since they said no anyway, meaning it's not going to hurt your ego and you really want to know the real reason. In future presentations, don't bring up the age of your firm. Have a proven industry spokesperson endorse you. Develop a ton of content that shows you are in the field, are known by other people in it, and are at the forefront of whatever it is you do. And make sure your SaaS really does solve a HUGE problem for your market. Why does your marketplace--not YOU--say they need it? Remember that your customers survived to this point without it. Why should they change? There are many other sales process factors that we cannot see from the outside here.JK

How do we get customers to skip the trial version of our B2B SAAS product and instead make the purchase directly?
You would want to hinge the purchase on a key feature that gives you a competitive advantage - and that is not fully incorporated in the trial version. I have advised SAAS Product Managers and your dilemma is certainly a shared one - getting customers to pick a) paid over free/basic/trial and b) getting them to pick the most lucrative package of the paid ones. If as you say, the software is complex, then we need some interface-based simplicity: try explainer videos for starters. http://www.powtoon.com/ So in sum - a friendly interface, and feature-based price marketing are two good places to start. Happy to have a conversation with you for further details.AB

How can you train yourself to sell more effectively if you consider yourself an introverted person?
This is just some personal advice, based on my own experience, from one introvert to another. Your question really caught my eye. Years ago, I had started telemarketing sales for a coupon book. I really struggled being successful at it. A couple years later, I took a job an in-bound telemarketing job for student loan consolidation (before Direct Loans took over), and I was outrageously successful. My key take aways from the experiences shaped my successeses for the restimate of my life. As introverts; we tend to be more sensitive to the body language and feelings of other people, have less confidence in our abilities and knowledge in a social setting, and must have a clear understanding and good reason for doing so, before acting. It wasn't until I was selling something, I knew would truly benefit the customer, that I became successful with what I was doing. The more I learned about my product and it's benefits, the more I sold. The underlying kicker is..... that I became PASSIONATE. For us, passion is an absolute must for success in sales. Since you are selling your own knowledge, you are already well educated in your product. If you feel any of the setbacks above factor into what you feel is holding you back, then shape your approach to overcome it. Lack in total confidence? We tend to be more realistic and fact based than extroverts. No amount of self-reassurance can change that for us, so fill those gaps with more research and don't stop learning entirely, ever. Fill those gaps until you truly believe YOU are the best solution for a customer, and that in not choosing your service, they are at an unrealized disadvantage. Have a clear understanding (actually map out) the benefits of what you are teaching the customer and the advantages in choosing you (what can you bring to the table?). That is where you will find your confidence, your success, and your passion. As an extra take-away, I have found, that shaping your situation to reflect the best qualities and advantages of your self, leads to greater success in life, rather than seeking to change what you feel is a disadvantage. (Of course, bad habits and negative traits aside) It's like this... Someone that trains their lack of musical ability will never be as great as another who trains the musical ability they were born with. :) Feel free to call me if you are interested in talking more about our type in business. I'll send you my VIP link for a free call. You will be my first on clarity!KH

Where do we look for venture capital for a debt-free direct sales/party plan business that is expected to do 1 million in its first year (2014)?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but generally, these are not the types of businesses that venture capital pursues. Due to the risk they are taking, VCs generally want to see a large market (meaning $1B potential) and a significant return on their money (10 times return). However, you can look for an Angel investor. These are generally individuals who are not looking for as large market or a return.Here are some places to start. Best of success to you! http://www.forbes.com/sites/tanyaprive/2013/12/16/20-most-active-angel-investors/ http://www.cbinsights.com/blog/top-angel-investors/II

How many number of users does it take to reach critical mass for ad sales?
Source: I founded www.buyads.com and www.isocket.com, which powers the direct ad sales for the web's best sites (like TechCrunch, AOL, Microsoft, etc) We hand invited the publishers that join our market because, as your question suggests, there is some threshold between who should and should not try direct sales. There are no hard rules, just guidelines. The superseding one is this: Do you have inventory (audience) an advertiser would take the time to specifically work with you for? If you open a "store" and starting selling this stuff, do people want to buy it? One measure is traffic, but that's not enough. In general we like to look for sites with 100,000 page views a month or more. But it can depend on the content and vertical. For example, we power a website that gets 25k hits a month but is the only site covering the voice over talent industry in Hollywood - so its super nichey and there is a market for those advertisers. Other examples of small but successful premium properties include some hyperlocal ones (www.queensmamas.com, www.brooklynheightsblog.com, www.brokelyn.com, etc), the largest blog for truckers, largest blog for prison wardens, etc. The conflicting examples are sites with large traffic but bad audiences/verticals. We reject a lot of "tech blog" also-rans that just copy and paste content from TechCrunch but get a lot of SEO traffic from it. Or even if it's a legit site, it can be in a bad brand-advertiser vertical like home finance / mortgages (which is mostly lead gen advertisers)JR
